Jessica and Rufino were absolutely amazing to work with! They made the entire process so easy and I loved their honesty and suggestions when it came to flowers, centerpieces, event details, and overall planning of the day. They were always so prompt in responding to calls and emails. I knew that I was going to love what they would create, but I have to say the final product exceeded my expectations. Every last detail of the flowers, ceremony, and reception were amazing! When I walked into the ballroom and saw it all set up for the first time I couldn't believe what they had transformed the room into. I will recommend them to anyone planning an event.

The Garden District went beyond our expectations in planning our wedding event. Rufino and Jessica were attentive to every detail, flexible with last minute changes, and executed the event with precision. The table designs and set up was breathtaking. We gave them our ideas and color palette, and they delivered gorgeous creative designs. They communicated precisely with other chosen vendors so things went smoothly. No detail was left undone so that the entire evening was enjoyable to us, the clients. I would high recommend The Garden District for planning any event large or small.

The flowers for our wedding ceremony were beautiful. Everything looked better than we could have imagined. They were so easy to work with and had very creative ideas. Our centerpieces, alter decor, and pew decor were perfect. We received many compliments on how great all our flowers looked.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
